The Ranch debuts new seasonally tailored “Garden Harvest” series

The Ranch at Laguna Beach is delighted to announce its seasonal “Garden Harvest” series launching this fall. In celebration of the fall harvest, the inaugural programming will offer an exclusive and intensely local behind-the-scenes experience into the bounty of the autumn season and the resort’s culinary expertise.   

The Ranch at Laguna Beach’s fall “Garden Harvest” programming is open to in-house guests only and will debut on September 7.

Upon arrival, guests will craft their own garden-fresh gin cocktail, using dried herb blends ranging from fresh rosemary to basil grown on-property at Harvest Garden. In addition to the creative mixology experience, guests will receive a collection of fall cookbooks personally curated by the resort’s Farmer Leo and Chef Kyle. 

Guests will embark on a private one-hour tour with Farmer Leo to experience the property’s half-acre biodynamic garden, sustainable composting system, and newly developed henhouse. Guests will learn the rich history of the property’s location in the Aliso & Wood Canyon and its original homesteading family, along with composting tips and which crops to plant during the fall. The tour will culminate in an intimate tasting of select California cheeses, charcuterie, and wines in an al fresco garden setting.
